Israeli sources here expect an attack on Zionism this week at the current session of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) on the part of extremist Arab countries–like Algeria, Syria and Iraq–which are already on the list of speakers for this week. Chaim Herzog Israel’s UN Ambassador, will also address ECOSOC this week, possibly on Wednesday and is expected to answer charges against Zionism and Israel if they are brought up by the Arabs.
